Sorry. I didn't say it clearly. :)
Seeing from your earlier mail, it crashed at:
while (zonelist_zone_idx(z) > highest_zoneidx) de: 3b 77 08 cmp 0x8(%rdi),%esi
I stuck this at the top of the function..
printk(KERN_ERR "z:%p nodes:%p highest:%d\n", z, nodes, highest_zoneidx);
and got
z: 1d08 nodes: (null) highest:3
nodes=null and highest=3, they are correct. When looking into next_zones_zonelist(), I cannot see why it crashed. So, can you print the zone id in the for_each_zone_zonelist() loop in nr_free_zone_pages() ?
I want to know why it crashed. A NULL pointer ? Which one ?
Thanks.
